Description

Marc Davis - Walt Disney World Cowboy Concept Sketch Original
Art (Walt Disney, c. 1970s). The Western River Expedition was a
proposed "dark ride" for Walt Disney World, as an answer to
Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean. The thought was that a
historical recreation of the US Western Expansion would be more
exciting, but fans in Florida kept asking, "where are the pirates?"
Eventually, the Western ride plans were scrapped in favor of a
second Pirates attraction. Marc Davis, one of Walt Disney's
celebrated "Nine Old Men," did a number of sketches for the
proposed ride over the course of five years, including this
splendid rough of a cowboy on horseback with a barking dog. The art
is in graphite on 16 field animation paper, with an image measuring
approximately 12" x 11.5". Art is unsigned but verified to be by
Marc Davis. In Good condition with handling, edge wear with tears,
and stains.
